MOORE STREET

At the GPO the flames were drawing in and the building, full of rebels and a huge cache of homemade explosives was in danger of becoming an inescapable inferno. An evacuation had to be hurriedly executed. With our actors you will retrace the retreat of several hundred fighters from The GPO through streets under siege to MOORE STREET. This is where the final hours of the Rising and the eventual surrender took place. Dodging bullets outside was far too dangerous; there was no choice but to go indoors. Hear of how they burrowed from home to home through the walls inside the shops and tenements of Moore St, of the tragic death of young civilian girl in her house and how a young nurse was dutied with carrying the surrender all through a city at war.
